I loved the WoW soundtracks, and didn't bother doing a Google search until recently. I didn't know Jason Hayes was so well discussed o.o

I've been influenced by his style, especially after playing Warcraft III - Nobuo Uematsu's music taught me that I like to compose, and Yoko Shimomura's gave me some basics. Listening to Mr. Hayes's music is helping me shape a personal composition style.
